Open daily for viewing with regular services during the week. Completed in 1904, the Cathedral is Christchurch's most prominent landmark and the Square to which it gives its name brings color and life to the heart of downtown. Check out the excellent Visitors Centre in the old Post Office building, and keep an eye out for concerts, protesters, eccentric street preachers or even the world-famous Wizard of New Zealand haranguing the lunchtime crowds. During the day food and craft stalls are available.

there are not imported goods. The Arts Centre Market, in it's brilliant location right on Worcester Boulevard, is always a hub of activity, brinding life to the heart of the city every weekend. Festivals, theatre, comedy, street performers, all sorts of musicians (from opera to pop) from NZ and all over the World,have plaed on stage and about the Marcet. I have one "bag bank" - it's very useful thing! :)))
